Taxidermist: "Is that a mule deer?"

I just dropped the caped head of the buck I shot Monday off at the taxidermist. His response - "is that a mule deer?" He followed that up with a lot of "wow, that is cool" comments about the atypical rack. The taxidermist, North Coast Taxidermy in Perry (within easy sight of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant cooling towers) came highly recommended by friends and neighbors. He said he hopes to have the deer done by late summer or September.
